Night after night，she came to wrap me in，even long after my childhood years．Following her longstanding custom，she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way，then 21 my forehead．
I don’t remember when it first started 22 me—her hands pushing my hair that way．But it did annoy me，for they felt work-worn and rough 23 my young skin．Finally，one night，I 24 her，“Don’t do that anymore your hands are rough!”She didn’t say 25 in reply．But 26 again did my mother close Out my day with that familiar 27 of her love．
Time after time，with the passing years，my 28 returned to that night．By then I missed my mother’s hands； 29 her goodnight kiss on my forehead．Sometimes the incident seemed very 30 ，sometimes far away．But always it hid，in the back of my mind．
Well，the years have passed，and I’m not a little girl anymore．Mom is in her mid seventies，and those 31 I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family．She's been our doctor， 32 a medicine box to calm a young girl’s stomach．She cooks the best fried chicken in the world．．．gets 33 Out of blue jeans that I never could wash Out．．．
Now，my own children are grown and gone． 34 ，in my memory，for the thousandth time，I 35 the night when my young voice complained，“Don’t do that anymore—your hands are rough!”Catching Morn’s hand in hand，I blurted out(冲口而出) how 36 I was for that night．I thought she’d remember， 37 I did．But Morn didn't know what I was talking about．She had forgotten—and 38 long ago．
That night，I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my 39 mother and her caring hands. And the 40 that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found．

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 31 waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 32 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often 33 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 34 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 35 . I can still remember he was always 36 a smile and willing to help. He always 37 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 38 just smile and ask what else he could do ,then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 39 home.
Weeks passed and the 40 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 41 before the holiday break. I smiled in 42 as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 43 standing by my desk.
“I have something for you” he said and 44 from behind his back a small box. 45 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it. ”I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 46 saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said. “The box is nice, David, but it’ s 47 . ”
“ Oh no it isn’t ,” said David “ It’s full of love, my mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there .”
Tears filled my eyes 48 Ilooked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 49 to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 50 the little empty box set on my desk.

The day was Thankful Thursday, our “ regular day” of service. It’s a __36__tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. On this __37__ Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do.
__38__ along a busy road, we prayed for guidance in search of __39__our weekly Act of Kindness. My girls were__40__, and started shouting “ McDonald’s” . Suddenly I realized that almost every crossing I__41__ was occupied by a beggar, and then it hit me! All these beggars must be hungry. Perfect! We were going to buy__42__for them.
It was a great way to__43__. The Act of Kindness was anonymous(匿名的)，and we loved what we saw in the back view mirror: a__44__and delighted person holding up his lunch bag and just looking at us__45__we drove off.
We had come to the end of our “ route” where there was a small woman standing there, asking for__46__. We handed her our final lunch bag, and then made a U-turn to head back in the opposite direction for home. Unfortunately, the light stopped us. I was __47__and didn’t know quite how to behave.
“No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” the woman said with__48__. I replied, “Well, I’m glad that we were the first one.”__49__ uneasy , and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “So, when do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”
“Oh honey, I’m not going to__50__this lunch.” I was confused , and she continued , “I have a little girl of my own at home and she just __51__ McDonald’s , but I can never buy it for her because I just don’t have the __52__ . You know what… tonight she is going to have McDonald’s !”
So many times I had__53__whether our Acts of Kindness were too small or insignificant to really__54__any difference . Yet in that moment, I recognized the__55__of Mother Teresa’s words, “We cannot do great things---only small things with great love.”
